Look how clean it is? The level of detail. No flash. No bubbles. Almost as if it was done in metal.
How is it done?

Send it to me for inspection, and I'll do a complete, if time consuming, analysis. I estimate a few years will be necessary. |

well-made moulds which are pressure-cured/vulcanised, then pressure-cast using a good quality resin most likely.... |

Might have been cleaned up quickly before dispatch too. |

I looks as if the resin was injected like a plastic. But I can't see the low volume Vs the expense of cutting a tool for injection. I guess if you had time after hours in a machine shop, you could use an EMD sinker tool to cut. But how would you get the rare material for the EDM tool? That shit ain't cheap |

Remarkable finish as you say. Surfed on to your blog. Your city board is about as good as it gets. Nice to see new forumware components being used in Mega-kitbash fashion. Keep up the good work! |

De-railed The city board hit the wall. None, not one of those bloodly FW road tiles is 100% square. I have had to delay the process until my game table is complete. Once finished I will be able to lay all the sections out and ensure they line up. |
